Wiki redirections
-
I think it's a good idea to redirect, like, Hydrogen to Element:HYGN and so on, and in case of conflicts, make a disambiguation page.
This would help users to distinguish materials and new users to understand the game better.

I have alway's want a disambiguation page, on The Powder Toy.

Good Idea. I'll make some redirects.
*Note - For anyone else who wants to help out with redirects, to make one do this:
1.) goto the name of the page to be redirected (Ex. if you want btry to redirect to Element:BTRY, create a page called btry)
2.) Type in "#REDIRECT [[TARGET]]". Replace TARGET with the name of the page to redirect to (Ex. with the btry example, TARGET would be Element:BTRY)
3.) Save the page and you're done -

I'm not sure about this. I think it just adds clutter. Provided the correct page appears in the search results, I don't think it's necessary, particularly redirects such as "btry" to "Element:BTRY".
The purpose of the "Element:" prefix is to keep things organised and clearly mark element pages as element pages - adding redirects without the prefix sort of defeats this purpose.

Ya but can't you guys make a, disambiguation page that could help new user's and they can understand, TPT better!. The wiki need's an Update real bad, but i would update the wiki if i was a developer i would update, the wiki and make the link to IRC aka Internent Relay Chat.

Anyone can edit the wiki.
A disambiguation page is for one word with several different meanings, and lists those meanings. Which word in particular needs a disambiguation page? Or do you mean something different? (a glossary, for example)
There is already some information about IRC on the wiki. The server and channel name are given at the bottom of the main page, and there is a link to webchat on https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Irc_setup.html
